No, the point was not to shoot them.
A few CEOs dying from tarring and feathering would just be a happy little accident.

I am permanently disfigured due to their negligence. One of my best friends was killed by their greed.
Publically disfiguring/killing a few CEOs would be awesome. Not only would it save lives, but also it would be hella fun.
Democrats have been spoiling every race and letting us slip into fascism, so we might as well try something different, right?
It’s so confusing to me how you can be pro corporate- and police-reform, yet against vigilantism. Were you paying attention the last 4 years?
We had a broad based popular movement for police reform resulting in a mass popular uprising. People went so far as large scale property destruction in the name of reforming the police. A large majority of the population supported the movement at one point. And what did all that nonviolent effort get us? Not a speck of police reform to be found anywhere in this country.
Saying you want police reform through nonviolent means is a utopian vision, just like star trek. Come back to reality, read some history, the only way to reform these entrenched systems of power is through violence.
Certainly the assassination of Ferdinand is a proximate cause of WWI, but there were much greater forces in play. The great powers had giant mechanized armies for the first time, they had plans for the deployment of millions on very strict deadlines, and they had the belief that failure to meet those deadlines would mean national destruction.
I think it is more plausible to argue that propaganda of the deed helped to end the gilded age and usher in the New Deal era, which was America’s golden era.
I also act under political desperation. Only under the most optimistic assumptions will electoralism be able to save us from climate change; currently the most likely outcome is human extinction. If the propaganda of the deed has only a 5% chance of saving us from our modern gilded age and the resultant climate-induced end of civilization, then I say it is a chance we must take for we are running out of serious options.
David Joyner looks like a great target for justice.
We need more heroes!
Higher networth = more points for a successful kill.
In a video game.
Freely? No, not completely.
But I will say how much I admire America’s founding fathers. They recognized their chains, killed their oligarchs, and they didn’t stop killing until they were truly free. “Live free or die”, truly inspirational.
Give them time, they are volunteers.
The majority of my post history since the heroic slaying of Brian Thompson is removed and post_no_longer_exists
The responsiveness of our government continues to decay, and the suffering of the average person continues to increase.
It is only a matter of time until some hero pulls a Brian Thompson on one of our genocidal democratically elected leaders.
I guess the only way to enact real change in this country is to murder a billionaire…
I’m hoping for much more real change in this country, and I support anyone with enough heroism to murder a CEO.
What’s the point of having Democrats when they just act like Republicans anyway?

Yes that’s my point, it is disgusting that the lesser of two evils is aiding and abetting an ongoing genocide.
Adulthood has nothing to do with this, it is a question about basic morality. Moral people are able to look beyond their own suffering to recognize the suffering of others. Moral people oppose genocide.
High road!?
When I looked at my ballot, I saw Genocide Joe and Even-More-Genocide Don.
I dont think a “high road” has been on the national ballot in my lifetime.
It’s funny how smart people can recognize that Trump lies all the time, and Trump will tell a room whatever they want to hear, etc.
But if you have a single Trump quote that you think will win an argument, well Trump surely meant it this time, no lie detected.
